Regulus satrapa
A hyperactive little bird with a grey-olive back, paler chest, and bright yellow crest. Golden-crowned kinglets are roughly the size of a hummingbird and can be spotted in tree tops, darting about to feast on insects.
GC Kinglets usually live in coniferous forests, but this little guy stayed in some trees near a residential area for 2-3 weeks.

Thanks everyone! I love watching these guys! They're like caffeinated ping pong balls. :)
cute series, desmond, well done!
Their all wonderful! But I agree that the second photo really does show the crown!
Really like the second photo where you can see the crown so well! These guys are such a pain to try and photograph, you got some great shots of one!
Nice spotting!
